It's nice and very interesting to make a video about this subject but I live in Belgium and must say that it's a little bit more complicated. This thing about not paying taxes count's for most profits you make on a "occasionally base". Not only for shares. If I make a profit with selling my car it's the same. But when it becomes "regular" the administration has the right to taxate that income. The interesting issue here is that there are not always clear guidelines that define what's occasional and what's regular. Though the law is the same it can be subject to the interpretation of the local tax office of your region. If the tax agent has the personal opinion that you do this to often they will taxate you anyway. They can always deny that 6 month rule for whatever reasons and you will be told: You sold 4 cars this year with profit. The Belgian law also says that you can be taxated just being suspected of being speculative. Then it's up to you to prove with everything you can that you're not. Mostly that means going to court against the tax office and convince the judge. And yes. There are many cases won this way. But there are also many cases where it was a loss and where the judge followed the mind of the tax office. Conclusion is that if you wan't to play this game you can. But there is a serious risk that you'll be slapped on the fingers for it. It gives a very insecure feeling because you don't actually know if you're taking it to far or not until it's to late.

Selling real estate in a Belgian company by selling the shares might be tax free, but the company will pay taxes when it wants to sell the real estate. And this tax is not only on the part of the selling price that’s above the buying price, but is also impacted by mandatory depreciation.

Thanks for the very helpful video. What defines a “long period” to keep the stocks? How many months/years should pass before you can sell them?

[@esentaxa]

Hello, in general are considered 6 months

My bank is promoting a campaign on a pension scheme it says that it will help in reducing the taxes I'm paying. Is that true? Also could you do a video about investments in Belgium? Thank you :)

Het bedrag van de stortingen dat in aanmerking komt voor de belastingvermindering is beperkt per jaar.
In 2022 (aanslagjaar 2023) heeft u de keuze tussen:
de 'klassieke' regeling: maximaal 990 euro met een belastingvermindering die 30 % (+ gemeentebelasting) van het betaalde bedrag (d.w.z. maximaal 297 euro) bedraagt
de nieuwe regeling: maximaal 1.270 euro met een belastingvermindering die 25 % (+ gemeentebelasting) van het betaalde bedrag (d.w.z. maximaal 317,50 euro) bedraagt.
Het is niet mogelijk om een groter bedrag te storten. Er is echter geen minimumbedrag.
Opgelet: als u de limiet van 990 euro overschrijdt, wordt de belastingvermindering automatisch verlaagd van 30 % naar 25 %. Deze overschrijding is alleen voordelig voor u als u meer dan 1.188 euro betaalt.
Als u en uw partner samen belast worden, heeft u toch elk afzonderlijk recht op dat maximumbedrag, op voorwaarde dat u elk houder bent van een (collectieve of individuele) spaarrekening of van een spaarverzekering.

I don't really understand it well, do you have to put your money received from clients into crypto/stocks immediatly or do the clients have to send you the money through crypto for example?

200 k - 25 procent is 50 k not 25 k. But that's just small mistake.

[@esentaxa]

Hello, yes sorry for that

[@kendrickruyten4188]

@esentaxa you don't need to say sorry just figured I'd give a heads up. You might add a balloon saying: "It's says 25K but we all know it's 50". Just my simple sense pîcked it up 'n thought: "Ey, I can help a guy who helped out, out". Who needs tax anyway when you got friends having your back instead of the tax officers you don't know. :p

If you invest in crypto or shares (or whatever), in Belgium they also use a term like 'Invest as a good house-father'. So, if you invest as a good house-father and follow the rules that you don't trade too much, it should be okay. But... nowhere is described what 'investng as a good house-father' means. It's open for speculation on the side of the tax man or a judge.
If you invest in crypto and a judge decides that investing in crypto is a risky endevour and that a good house-father should not play risky games, then you can forget your 0% taxes.
If you invest only in Bitcoin and a judge decides than a good house-father should diversify and not only invest in one asset, then you can also forget your 0% taxes.
I'm not saying it will happen, but by using a term that is not defined (Good House-Father), you are on very shaky ground!!

Great video but, how does the government know that u held your bitcoin investment for 6 months or longer ?

[@esentaxa]

Hello, through AI tools

@@esentaxa ooh, that's interesting, thank you

If you purchased the asset via a centralised exchanse wich needs kyc approved account, they will be able to request the data of this exchange. On the other end every blockchain tx is traceable on chain so if you personally want to prove your purchase date you could do with tx data in that matter...
